Concerts | Emerging Artist Showcase
Free Event
Join us for stellar concerts by the Norfolk fellows. Each week we present their fresh interpretations of familiar works such as Beethoven, Brahms, and Bartók, as well as the less familiar works that always delight our audience.
Whether you are a chamber music aficionado or novice, or whether you prefer new works or the standards, there is something for everyone. Quite simply, the Norfolk Fellows will knock your socks off!
Repertoire is chosen weekly. Program details will be posted as they become available.
